9/19-Hey I found some of my books from history classes at my undergrad. Two are histories of the era (A Very Different Age:Americans of the Progressive Era by Steven Diner and Crusader Nation: The United States in Peace and the Great War, 1898-1920 by David Traxel) and one contains primary sources, Voices of Freedom: A documentary history. I will bring them into class tomorrow.-Becky
